Volume 1 Night Fort Chapter 88 Drawing lots
The dimly lit room, the crackling of firewood burning from the fireplace.
Han Qingluo sat on the side wrapped in a blanket to keep warm, his eyes looking at the dancing flames. Suddenly, there was a faint "creak" from the door, and her attention was immediately drawn.
Following the prestige, it is a familiar figure.
"Got it all back?" Han Qingluo wrapped the blanket on his body, got up and walked towards Jue, today they went to pick up the ordered goods.
Jue hung up his robe and nodded: "The things will be moved to your room later, and you can count them when the time comes." ”
There was cold air outside on his body, and Han Qingluo felt it as soon as he got closer. The stimulation of the cold air made her sneeze, rub her itchy nose, and when she raised her eyes again, Jue who was in front of her had already sat at the desk, 108,000 miles away from her.
"You ......" Han Qingluo wanted to speak and stopped, seeing that he had already opened the book and looked at it intently, he gave up. Turned around and went back to the fireplace to warm up.
Nestled in the soft chair, the warmth of his whole body quickly made Han Qingluo close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
——
It was getting colder and colder, and it was snowing for several days, and the falling snow never stopped.
Saying that it was convenient to discuss Christmas Eve, Jue asked Han Qingluo to move back to the dormitory, and the fireplace in his room became her permanent residence. Xiao Hei has grown a lot during this period, and his body shape is no longer a specification that can be held in his arms, and he is afraid of accidents, so he is still taken care of by Gray Eye.
Jin and Aisha hadn't seen each other since the day they bought it, and because of the heavy snow, Han Qingluo didn't have a chance to step out of the door of the dormitory, so he could only run back and forth between himself and Jue's room.
Everything ordered in Mirror City was also shipped back to the Night Fort, just waiting for Christmas Eve.
——
When I woke up again, the fire in the fireplace was still burning vigorously. Han Qingluo blinked sleepily and yawned comfortably. Glancing at the desk, it was empty, wondering where the guy had gone. On the big bed not far away, a flirtatious voice sounded: "Are you looking for me?" ”
Han Qingluo followed the prestige, only to see Jue holding his head with one hand, and the other hand naturally hanging in front of him, leaning on the bed. Dressed in a thin silk summer robe, it loosely concealed his intact figure. The spring light on his chest was just right to cover the summer robe, looming. In the dim light of the fire, there is an indescribable hazy beauty.
This charming scene made her eyes can't help but wander on his body...... When he met the pair of purple and gold eyes that were as deep as a black pool, the banter in them made Han Qingluo look stunned, and he suddenly turned his head and shrunk into the thick blanket. Xu was because it was too hot in the house, Han Qingluo only felt that it became so hot in an instant, so hot that she sweated profusely, and her ears became hot.
"If you like to watch it, watch it as much as you like, and don't be shy."
His frivolous words sounded in his ears again, Han Qingluo not only his ears, but even his face felt hot, and even the base of his neck began to rise in temperature......
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door, and Han Qingluo bounced up from the chair as if grasping a life-saving straw, and by the way, he raised the blanket high to cover his face, so as not to see something that he shouldn't see when he passed by the big bed.
Her deserted escape, which made Jue chuckle, lowered her eyes and raised her hand to straighten the silk summer robe on her body, put down the veil, changed her posture, and leaned leisurely on the head of the bed.
Just opened the door.
A wave of heat came to my face.
Yuke stepped back in shock, frowned, and said in his heart: Why is the boss's room so hot? When he saw that it was Han Qingluo who opened the door, he was shocked again: "Why are you?" "I found the reason why the boss's room was hot.
Yuke's arrival brought another gust of cold air into the room.
"Ahh Han Qingluo sneezed, rubbed his nose, and asked after a while, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Where's the boss?"
Han Qingluo hesitated but turned his head over - the veil of the big bed was lowered, and Jue's figure was a little unclear. Suddenly, he thought of the scene just now, and hurriedly retracted his gaze and said to Yuke: "He's inside, you come in!" ”
Yuke frowned and said in disgust, "It's too hot!" ”
Han Qingluo was stunned for a moment, and once again turned his gaze to the big bed, and his mood changed slightly. The ears, face, and neck are magically heated.
"Isn't there a meeting tonight? What are you still doing in your room? Yuke was dissatisfied, "Everyone is here." ”
"It's night?" Han Qingluo couldn't believe it, the roaring fireplace gave her the illusion that she had only slept for half an hour. What does it mean that she went from morning to night?
Then this means that during the period when she was asleep, the firewood in the fireplace was added by Jue, and she didn't feel a sense of uneasiness, Han Qingluo gave a few perfunctory words to Yuke and closed the door.
At this time, Jue had already changed his clothes, he looked natural, arranged his underwear, and didn't seem to have any reaction to what happened before: "Now that you are sober, hurry up and go to the main hall, don't let everyone wait." ”
Han Qingluo only nodded muffledly, and ran to the side of the chair to put his plush coat on his body. Then he ran to the hanger and took off Jue's knee-length coat and respectfully handed it to him.
Jue glanced at her abnormal behavior and did not say anything.
Out of the warm room, the sudden cold made Han Qingluo realize that Jue's room was really hot, and he thought that it was really embarrassing for him as a blood clan to endure this uncomfortable temperature. No wonder he had to wear so thin in the room before.
Sighing with self-reproach, he hurriedly ran to his room to get the props, and followed Jue to the main hall.
——
Inside the main hall.
The Bloods stared at a jar of paper on the table.
"You said you wanted to pick a Santa Claus between us?" Yuke's eyes were locked on the jar of wooden skewers, and the number was exactly eleven.
Han Qingluo replied very seriously: "Yes, the most special one this year is Santa Claus, we have to elect a representative to start giving gifts to everyone at 0:00 on Christmas Eve, among the eleven signs, ten are blank, and one is written 'Santa Claus'." Anyway, it's a 1 in 11 probability, which is fair! ”
"It sounds interesting, and I think it's going to be good." Kim spoke in support.
Han Qingluo smiled at him and thanked him. Seeing her bland attitude, the smile that Jin barely smiled at the corner of his mouth disappeared unsupportably, and loss was written all over his face.
Then Aisha also said that she would like to draw this so-called Santa Claus and experience the feeling of giving gifts all night. As he spoke, he looked at Kim, expecting him to react, but he lowered his eyes and looked at himself.
"Then let's draw lots!" Loris spoke suddenly.
Her noisy behavior made Han Qingluo have to look at her: the person who should have left has stayed from the autumn hunt to the present, although she doesn't know what happened during this period, but Han Qingluo hopes that this is the last Christmas night she spent in the Night Castle.
"Huh, wait a minute!" Han Qingluo blocked Clores's hand that wanted to draw lots, and his tone was flat, "Before the lottery, I have to say something first!" ”
Glories withdrew her hand with a slight displeasure, looking at her silently. The rest of the Bloodclan also shifted their gaze from the wooden stick to her because of her words.
Opening the wooden box that had already been placed aside, Han Qingluo took out the clothes inside, unfolded them and spread them on the long table.
Aisha recognized the outfit at a glance: "Isn't this one of several outfits on the drawing?" And it's the most special set of ......."
The more they unfurled their clothes, the more frowning the Bloodclan's brows became, and a sense of foreboding came over them.
"This is Santa's exclusive costume, and it must be worn on the day of the gift, and it cannot be refused." This time, it was finally Han Qingluo's turn to look at the aggrieved appearance of this group of blood clans, and he couldn't help but smile and explain one by one.
In her eyes, this plush suit with a few circles of white between the big red is still more reminiscent of the costume of contemporary Santa Claus. It's just that the aesthetics of this era - men's tight, women's tight, this kind of loose clothes is still non-mainstream.
Beauty-loving Gloris's face instantly became bad, and the previous urge to draw lots was persuaded to retreat by this ugly suit, not only her, but she didn't understand anything except the stunned gray eye, and the other blood clans showed disgusted eyes, frowned very tacitly, and stepped back.
Han Qingluo smiled at the corner of his mouth, glanced around the group of blood clans, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What?" Isn't anyone who wants to try something so meaningful? ”
Aisha, who had sworn before, couldn't help but retreat behind Jin and cover her figure, afraid that Han Qingluo would see her.
Their negative attitude inevitably made Han Qingluo shake his head helplessly, crossed his hands in front of his chest and said bitterly: "Santa Claus is the most holy character on Christmas Eve, he sends happiness and blessings to everyone, this dress is only made to set off the festive atmosphere, don't just look at the surface and ignore the true meaning of Santa Claus's existence." ”
Yuke shook his head, still very disgusted: "I still look at the surface." ”
"Who voted unanimously through me for Christmas Eve? It's you, right? Now I'm backing up one by one, what's the matter? Can't afford to play? It is you who agree, and you are the one who disagrees, what do you want? ”
Han Qingluo was furious, slapped the table, and pointed to the clothes: "Today's lot, if you don't draw it, you have to draw it, in short, one of the eleven people must be Santa Claus, and force you to wear this outfit to give me a gift!" Since I'm going to do it, you'll have to listen to me! ”
"I ......" You Ke wanted to refute, but was so shocked by Han Qingluo's "You shut up" that he really shut up.
"And you, Gloris, you were the first to offer me Christmas Eve, and now you're going to turn the other cheek on me, did you mean it?" Han Qingluo had long been unhappy with her, and directly opened up.
Loris didn't expect Han Qingluo to burn her anger on her head, and she was so shocked that "I" couldn't say the following words as if she was stuck in her throat.
"And you." Han Qingluo scolded and glanced at Jue who was watching the play with a smile on the side, Jue was mentioned by her, and the smile on her face instantly froze, waiting for her to say something rebellious.
She paused for a moment and softened her tone: "As the boss, you should lead by example, not watch the play from the sidelines." After speaking, he moved his gaze to the table, selectively avoiding the coercion in Jue's eyes.
This meeting gradually turned into Han Qingluo's criticism meeting. Those who basically spoke, and those who didn't, were all counted out by her, and none of them were spared......
